Just one question

Who will stay with the kids while they are not in school?

Which parent will leave their job and have to stay at home with these kids?

shaggy007:
I agree with you.

A little bit of homeschooling, to increase the bond with the family before going out to school.

Another reason is that the immune system of these kids are not yet strong to fend of diseases.

So they need to be contained for a while before released into the world.

6-3-3-4 is already there naa.
A child should start primary 1 when they were 6 at their last birthday. And this issue of children jumping classes and skipping primary 6 should be discouraged.

GboyegaD:


They can enroll them in daycare or day homes.

abayormie00:
The main reason most students don't like school or anything that has to do with academics, is because, students seem not to have a pleasant experience of it from childhood, as a result of the behaviour of despite parents, who always try to force things into their child's head, even at pre developmental stage, when their brains hasn't yet developed to accommodate such school work.

However, it is crucial for parents to educate themselves on a proper age that is required and appropriate to enroll a child to school.

Finally, some parents should take it easy on children that seem not to respond to school work, because, the fact that a child doesn't seem to understand at infancy, won't make the child worse-off at latter stage of development, because, learning is a long life thing, and every learner should be given the opportunity to learn at their own pace.

You are right OP but enrollment of children at early stages is like that in every country of the world

Ttfddsaq:
Ok

Somebody enrolled her child in a daycare and the child died. It was all over the internet just two months ago

The child was 3 months old.

Guess who got blamed?

See ehn, it is very easy to criticise people when you are not in their shoes. When you guys start having kids, you will know that expectations are different from reality

thatigboman1:
how can u even enrol a 3 month child in day care? Is fire chasing the mum away from home?

safarigirl:


Lol

6-3-3-4 does not exist anymore.

6-3-3-4 is a break down of the years of school

6 for The 6 years you are in Primary 1-6
3 for the 3 years of Junior Secondary
3 for the 3 years of Senior Secondary
4 for the 4 years in University

You do not even know what 6-3-3-4 means and you are here talking about the appropriate age of sending kids to school. You guys are hilarious

Who will stay home with your child for the first 6 years of their life oga? Will you stop working to stay home?

IamNat:
Enrolling a child in school early isn't the reason why students don't like education in this country, let's blame that on the situation of the country in general, in a country where majority of our graduates end up as an apprentice at a shop just because there's no job after school, how do you expect students to like school? They could see their elderly once who are through with school for several years yet without a job.

And we can't blame parents who enroll their children in school early, in a country where companies need a 24 year old employee with 5years of experience, what then can we say?

maticar:
I agree

I think 3yrs is ideal age for kids to start school, forget about creche or whatever.....they play videos for them and eat their food

Download the videos on YouTube and play it in your house for them, pray with them always, teach them family values which no teacher can.

Norway has achieved a remarkable educational system. Adult literacy exceeds 99 percent, and school expectancy for a five-year-old in Norway was 17.7 years in 1998, one of the highest school expectancy rates of any country.

Yet their children don’t start any form of formal education until 6 years old. Before then, all they do is play well, eat well and sleep well. That is how children develop.

In Lagos 2 year old children are waking up at 4:30am to join their parents on a long ride to school. How will they develop? Sad.

thatigboman1:
me, I don't know meaning of 6-3-3-4? Very funny. U are expected to enter 1 at 6, enter secondary at 12 and University at 18.
What's the difference between 6-3-3-4 and the 9-3-4 or so that they practice now?
@the bolded, my wife and househelps.
My children stayed at home till they were 3 and then entered nursery school (against my will), which they will finish at 5. And so must enter primary 1 at 6. Simple.

The fire that is her office

If she did not resume 3 months after birth, she would have lost her job. She had to return to work.

Nobody will tell you this part about motherhood and child care, but if it is to ask women "What do you bring to the table?" It is easy.

Some people would say she should have forfeited the job, but this brings up the capability of her husband, because most men are unable to be sole providers for their families today

iamhappyking:
In Nigeria, the reason why people register their kids early is well known :

1. The parents are working and the kids are at home. who will babysit them child? simple: the teachers are best positioned to be the baby sitter and the teachers,

2. it is now becoming competitive. Your kids are at home, meanwhile, your neighbour's kids are in school. during playtime, the school attending kids will ask questions like spell HIPPOTAMUS. The non-responsive kids will look like IGNORAMUS .

3. Early to bed is early to rise. KIds who get into schools early are likely to finish early. heard of 16 years getting into University and graduating at age 21?

4. You allow your kids late into the school and they are seen as granddaddies or Mummies? the low confident grand-kid might also turn out to be a bully

5. education get expensive as the year rolls by.........

Just one question

Who will stay with the kids while they are not in school?

Which parent will leave their job and have to stay at home with these kids?

OP, do you have a child?

You think parents rush their kids because they really want to?

Let me educate you on the realities of Nigerian parents, because I noticed you have a lot of opinions that are more idealistic than realistic

BOTH parents have to go to work

Labour Laws do not favour even a decent maternity leave. Do you know that women have to return to work 3 months after birth? They cannot even find someone to stay with babies, how much more older children?


If people could keep their kids with them longer, they would, but this your post reeks of ignorance and insensitivity.

You cannot train anyone's child for them. When you start having your own kids, try out this your method and see how successful it is.

You have said the truth, this is the reality of a lot of women, no woman will want to leave her baby at 3 or even 6 months in a day care, but she has to work.

You are shaking the table @2nd bolded.
